Submission declined on 15 July 2025 by Notcharizard (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

The PROUD Project

The PROUD Project is a Canadian registered charity and non-profit whose mission is to conduct research rooted in disability experience. It is a bilingual (English/French) anti-ableist research and advocacy organization founded in 2019. PROUD is an acronym for Phenomenological Research/Remedies On the Under-inclusion of Disabled adults. PROUD conducts research across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. The institute uses its findings to advocate for people with disabilities to be fully engaged and integrated members of their communities. It produces a bilingual podcast: Broadcastability: a podcast by, for and about people with disabilities. It is supported by scholarly, government, and private foundation grants and by donations.
